Pre-order 1/6th scale Destiny Warlock Figure at BBTS (link HERE)

Destiny is an online-only first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie and published by Activision. Set in a "mythic science fiction" world, players take on the role of a Guardian, defenders of Earth's last safe city as they wield a power called Light to protect the City from different alien races. Guardians are tasked with reviving a celestial being called the Traveler, while journeying to different planets to investigate and destroy the alien threats before humanity is completely wiped out.

The Warlock is a Guardian class in Destiny that specializes in combining "magic" powers granted by The Traveler with modern weapons. In appearance, Warlocks can be distinguished by their rounded helmets and long vestments. In addition to head, chest armor, gauntlets, and leg armor, they have a special fifth armor slot that is unique to their class and further helps to distinguish them from their brethren in arms: a bond (armband) worn on the upper-left arm.


Bungie and 3A proudly announce the highly anticipated DESTINY WARLOCK – the second figure in 3A’s 1/6th Scale Collectible Figure Series from the critically acclaimed game, DESTINY. The Warlock comes in three exclusive editions – each edition comes complete with a Ghost and are outfitted in shaders, armor, vestments, and an array of weaponry curated by ThreeA in collaboration with the development team at Bungie.

Pre-order Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1/6 Scale Figure - Shredder at BBTS (link HERE)

The Shredder (Oroku Saki) is a fictional character in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics and all of its related media. At one point or another in every incarnation of the TMNT stories, he has been the archenemy of Splinter and the Turtles, and usually serves as the main antagonist. He is the leader of the criminal organization known as the Foot Clan.

Shredder's physical appearance remains fairly consistent in most incarnations of the character. Saki is a muscular Japanese man, most frequently seen in "the Shredder" persona, wearing a suit of armor vaguely based on that of a samurai, sometimes with a cape. The armor consists of blade-covered metal plaques on his shoulders, forearms, hands (sometimes just his left hand, because he is left-handed), and shins. He also tends to wear a metal helmet with a trident-shaped ornament on top, and a metal ninja style mask which covers his face, leaving only his eyes visible.


DreamEX 1/6th scale Ninja Turtles Shredder 12-inch action figure will come with two head sculpts (one wearing mask and the other without mask), 30 cm tall Muscle body, ten alternative hands. Costume / outfit / clothing: Purple cloak, Sleeveless shirt, Leather vest, belt, Black armband, Leather leggings. Accessories: helmet, Pauldrons, Arm Armor, Leg armor, armor boots, Samurai sword, scabbard, Ninja throwing stars (shuriken), Portable Visual Communicator, Variation liquid tank

ThreeQ 1/6th CITIES RANGER 12" collectible action figure review II: Stephen Amell as Arrow

continued form previous toy blog post...

"My name is Oliver Queen. After five years on a hellish island, I have come home with only one goal: To save my city. But to do so, I can't be the killer I once was. To honor my friend's memory, I must be someone else. I must be something else." - Opening voiceover for ARROW season 2.

Oliver Queen is Green Arrow, a costumed crime-fighter created by Mort Weisinger and George Papp for DC comics. Arrow is an American television series based on Green Arrow but Stephen Amell who portrays Oliver Queen, a billionaire playboy turned hooded vigilante-hero, is not called "Green Arrow" until season four. He is initially known as the “Hood”, “Vigilante”, and simply “Arrow”.


The correct shooting stance when shooting an arrow is to have your body perpendicular to the target and the shooting line, meaning that if you drew an imaginary line from you to the target, this line would go across the middle of your feet. If you are right eye dominant, hold the bow with your left hand, point your left shoulder to the target, and handle the arrow and string with your right hand. If you are left eye dominant, it's the reverse. It actually doesn't help if you are wearing a hood when shooting an arrow because it will obscure your vision since hoods go over the head and almost covers the eyes.

In the pictures I've posted below of this recently released THREEQ TQ1001 1/6th scale CITIES RANGER 12-inch action figure posed in the shooting stance about to release the arrow towards his intended target, the hood is not placed over his head as it would look odd with the hood facing front when he's shooting from the side. The hood looks great when he's facing front as can be seen in the pictures at the bottom of this action figure review post but not so accurate in the shooting pose.

Scroll down to see all the pictures.

THREEQ TQ1001 1/6th scale CITIES RANGER 12-inch action figure. He comes with realistic head sculpt, removable mask, 12-inch male figure body with over 28 points of articulations, green T-shirt, leather-like jacket with hood, leather-like pants, boots, bow, quiver (arrow x 5), leather-like bag for shorter arrows x 5, gauntlet for mini-arrows x 3, interchangeable gloved hands x 6


I really like this figure. The costume / outfit does not restrict the figure's movement and he can easily hold most poses without any problems. The 1/6th scale head sculpt bears a strong resemblance to Stephen Amell who portrays Oliver Queen / Green Arrow and the likeness is quite spot-on :) The mask is very well crafted and fits his face perfectly without looking too big or out of place. You can see the masked and unmasked face in my first part action figure review posted HERE. A very nice figure overall and I highly recommend him if you are a Stephen Amell / Green Arrow or even Robin Hood fan.


Scroll down to see the turnaround views of the ThreeQ 1/6th scale CITIES RANGER 12-inch collectible action figure (Stephen Amell as Arrow) with the hood over his head. Still not sure what he does with the smaller arrows he carries in a pouch on his right hip / thigh as well as the tiny ones on his left lower arm. He carries them with him but it doesn't look like he can shoot them with his bow because they are too small.

Pre-order

This was part of my June 2016 haul (see the toy blog post HERE)

I got the Hot Toys MMS080 Iron Man Mark 1 and the MMS075 Mark III from the first Iron Man movie; and picked up MMS123 Mark IV and MMS121 War Machine from the second Iron Man film. There were just too many Iron Man suits in Iron Man 3 and since I don't own a bank, I gave them all a miss. Plus the main armor in Marvel’s Iron Man 3, the Mark XLII had too much gold on him. Growing up reading Iron Man from Marvel Comics, Iron Man in my mind was always more red than yellow or gold and Mark XLII just had too much gold. I did pick up Hot Toys "Iron Man 3" 1/6th scale Die-cast Iron Patriot 12-inch Collectible Action Figure because it was "Iron Captain America".

I decided to get most of the 1/6th scale figures Hot Toys was producing for "Avengers: Age of Ultron" because I felt that Hot Toys has finally come to a place where their standards have reached the highest level. While the sculpting of the heads for the first Avengers film were great, the standards had been raised by the second Avengers film so I felt it was the best time to assemble my Avengers. And you cannot have the Avengers without including Iron Man. And Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece Series Diecast MMS300-D11 Avengers: Age of Ultron: 1/6th scale Mark XLV Collectible Figure fits the bill nicely.


The movie-accurate Iron Man Mark XLV Collectible Figure is highly detailed and sophisticatedly crafted based on the image of the armor in the Marvel Studios "Avengers: Age of Ultron" film featuring a meticulously sculpted armored body, specially applied metallic red, gold and silver colored paint with weathered effects, LED light-up Arc Reactor with hexagonal-shaped indent on chest, and a specially designed diorama base with a detachable damaged Ultron Sentry (Prime)! There's no doubt about it: Hot Toys truly delivers high quality figures that are value-for-money and the engineering that goes into making them simply boggles the mind. They are made by people who love 12-inch figures and love what they do and it shows :)

The design of the Mark XLV armor is a lot more intricate and complicated than the earlier Iron Man armor suits. If you were to compare Iron Man Mark III with Mark XLV, you'll see that this latest armor suit is a lot more advance looking with a lot more details than the older version.

Hot Toys MMS300-D11 Movie Masterpiece Series Die-cast "Avengers: Age of Ultron" 1/6th scale Iron Man Mark XLV Collectible Figure comes in a very large box. The box measures 9.4-inch (24cm) L x 7.5-inch (19cm) W x 16-inch (41cm) H and is also quite heavy because a lot of the contents are die-cast. The design is similar with all Hot Toys die-cast figures - see the MMS195-D01 Iron Patriot collectible figure reviewed HERE as well as the Hot Toys MMS202-D04 1/6th scale Die-cast RoboCop Collectible Figure reviewed HERE.


Inside the box lying in its foam tray is the die-cast 1/6th scale Iron Man Mark XLV Collectible Figure. Below the box is the accessories tray which contains a very nicely crafted diorama base with a detachable damaged Ultron Sentry (Prime) plus the rest of the accessories, including batteries packed separately. It's nice to know Hot Toys acknowledged their mistake of putting the batteries inside their figures in the past (see my toy blog post "Hot Toy Collecting Tip #1: Remove ALL Batteries!"HERE) and now ship all figures with batteries removed.


This is Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece Series Diecast MMS300-D11 "Avengers: Age of Ultron" 1/6th scale Iron Man Mark XLV Collectible Figure out of the box. The Iron Man Mark XLV Collectible Figure specially features: Authentic and detailed likeness of Mark XLV as seen in Avengers: Age of Ultron. It is approximately 33 cm tall with over 30 points of articulations, and contains die-cast material. Because of the metal die-cast components, the figure is hefty and feels really sold!


Special features on armor include: Metallic red, gold and silver colored painting on armor with weathered effects, LED light-up eyes (white light, battery operated), LED-lighted circle-shaped Arc Reactor with hexagonal-shaped indent on chest (white light, battery operated), One interchangeable battle damaged chest armor, One (1) pair of forearm laser weapons (hidden until deployed), Four (4) pairs of interchangeable palms including: One (1) pair of palms with articulated fingers and light-up repulsors (white light, battery operated), One (1) pair of fists, One (1) pair of battle palms with light-up repulsor (white light, battery operated), One (1) pair of palms with real-like thrust fire effect. Fully deployed air flaps at back of the armor. Articulations on waist armor which allow flexible movement.


Scroll down to see the close-up pictures taken of this Hot Toys MMS300-D11 Movie Masterpiece Series Die-cast "Avengers: Age of Ultron" 1/6th scale Iron Man Mark XLV Collectible Figure. I am in favor of Hot Toys producing a weathered armor suit as it has the used look which makes it look more realistic rather than the clean glossy look which makes it look like it's meant only for the showroom. Plus a clean look is harder to maintain whereas with a weathered look, the figure can be excused if it has a few more dinks or paint chips. I really dig the armor with more red paint as it brings Iron Man back to his roots. The predominantly gold armor of Mark XLII just didn't grow on me and I didn't fancy it.


Hot Toys MMS300-D11 Movie Masterpiece Series Die-cast "Avengers: Age of Ultron" 1/6th scale Iron Man Mark XLV 33cm Tall Collectible Figure User Guide comes in a booklet form with many pages of instructions for things like putting in the batteries as well as how to activate the parts which will make the figure more flexible. There are additional articulations on the waist, shoulder, arms, hip, legs and feet which allow the figure to bend more than it should. However, all these will not allow the figure to produce the superhero landing pose. I tried it with Iron Patriot (see the review post HERE) and this figure's joints are designed similar to it. Most 12-inch figures cannot achieve the superhero landing pose except the Phicen Limited 1:6 scale Super-Flexible 12-inch Male Seamless Body - check out the post HERE. If you see how the body has to twist and bend to achieve the pose, you will understand why a suit of armor is not designed to pose in that manner. It's all CGI, folks. The sooner we accept that and move on, the better :)


Hot Toys "Avengers: Age of Ultron" Iron Man Mark XLV 12-inch (33cm) Tall Collectible Figure 1/6th scale accessories: interchangeable battle damaged chest armor, three pairs of interchangeable palms including: one pair of palms with articulated fingers and light-up repulsors (white light, battery operated), one pair of battle palms with light-up repulsor (white light, battery operated), one pair of palms with real-like thrust fire effect. Figure comes with one pair of fists.


Other accessories include: a damaged Ultron Sentry (Prime), specially designed diorama figure base, two laser beam effect for attaching to Mark XLV forearm laser weapons, two real-like thrust fire effects for his feet and batteries which comes with a tiny screwdriver for opening the battery compartments.


Check out the turnaround views of the damaged Ultron Sentry (Prime). Its head can be removed.


Specially designed diorama figure base. This base is heavier than usual as it is designed to hold the weight of the die-cast Mark XLV figure when it is posed above the base using the figure stand included.

Devil Toys "The Battlefield of Darkness Vol 2" Da Rocking Priest is based on real Arthur Hollands

Born 1951 in Osaka, Japan. Arthur Hollands went to USA when he was 20, where he became the national champion at an all American wrestling tournament, won a silver medal at a Pan American championship, and came third at a national Judo championship. Baptized at 23, he became a pastor and returned to Japan in 1982 for evangelism.

Now Devil Toys has taken the image of Arthur Hollands and transformed him into Anthony. H of a fictitious Hong Kong Gangster Group. Devil Toys has also gone the way of DAM Toys by mimicking their style of head sculpt which is a stylized and caricaturish version of a real person. Check out the actual pictures of pastor Arthur Hollands further down in this post, with tattoos and all. Devil Toys even attempted to copy the tattoos on their 12-inch figure body.


Backstory by Devil Toys:
Da Rocking Priest Anthony. H, a Chinese-Japanese half-bleed, is the second member of the Hong Kong Gangster Group "B.O.D.", his philosophy is to use his fist to lead those lost sheep back to the road.

He used to be a leader of Bōsōzoku at the age of puberty, eventually found his redemption via religious belief after the death of his group member in an accident. Now he works as a priest for a chapel in Sham Shui Po, a suburb in Hong Kong, to serve the community, and his hobby is to fix his motorcycle.

“On the fringe, blood and bullets are the rule of law, and if you’re a man with conviction, violence is inevitable.” - John Teller

One of FX’s all-time biggest hits, Sons of Anarchy ran for 7 seasons and 92 episodes, with a following that continues to grow, binge-watching new fan after binge-watching new fan. It tells the story of single father Jax Teller, who finds his loyalty to his outlaw motorcycle club, the Sons of Anarchy — AKA SAMCRO — tested by his growing unease with the group's lawlessness. This puts him in conflict with his own stepfather, club president Clay Morrow, who prefers things to be done the Old School way. The violent way.


Pop Culture Shock Collectibles is proud to launch their inaugural line of high-end 1:6 scale figures with Jax and Clay, as memorably portrayed by Charlie Hunnam and Ron Perlman, respectively.

This authentic and detailed figure features tailored fabric clothes, interchangeable hands and trademark accessories (listed below). Whether perched on a shelf or sealed in a display case the gun-running boys of Charming will make the rest of your collection sleep with one eye open.

LIGHTS on!

This second part action figure review of the recently released Hot Toys MMS300-D11 Movie Masterpiece Series Die-cast "Avengers: Age of Ultron" 1/6th scale Iron Man Mark XLV 33cm Tall Collectible Figure focuses mainly on the light-up features available with this figure. The User Guide comes in a booklet form with many pages of instructions for things like putting in the batteries as well as how to activate the parts which will make the figure more flexible. Batteries are included but packed separately, a huge step taken by Hot Toys to rectify the mistake they made in the past when they left the batteries inside the figure which resulted in leakage and damages to the electronic components, which led me to post an entry titled "Hot Toy Collecting Tip #1: Remove ALL Batteries!". You can read all about it HERE


Just like Hot Toys announced - Special features on the "Avengers: Age of Ultron" 1/6th scale Iron Man Mark XLV armor include: Metallic red, gold and silver colored painting on armor with weathered effects, LED light-up eyes (white light, battery operated), LED-lighted circle-shaped Arc Reactor with hexagonal-shaped indent on chest (white light, battery operated), One interchangeable battle damaged chest armor, One (1) pair of forearm laser weapons (hidden until deployed), Four (4) pairs of interchangeable palms including: One (1) pair of palms with articulated fingers and light-up repulsors (white light, battery operated), One (1) pair of fists, One (1) pair of battle palms with light-up repulsor (white light, battery operated), One (1) pair of palms with real-like thrust fire effect. Fully deployed air flaps at back of the armor. Articulations on waist armor which allow flexible movement.

Note the parts where it's mentioned LED light-up. These are located at the eyes, circle-shaped Arc Reactor and both palms. A total of 12 batteries are included, three for each LED light-up function. NOTE: There are six bigger sized batteries which are for the eyes and arc reactor. The other six smaller sized batteries are for the palms. The smaller size batteries still work for the eyes and arc reactor but the bigger sized batteries won't fit into the battery compartment which activates the lights for the palms (repulsors). A tiny screwdriver is also included, in case you are not so handy at home and don't own any DIY tools.

The battery compartment for the Hot Toys die-cast Iron Man Mark XLV light-up eyes is at the top of his head (see picture above) and the battery compartment for the LED light-up arc reactor is at the back of the figure. All the battery compartments are very well hidden and you wouldn't know that they were there if not for the User Guide. Very clever engineering by Hot Toys


The battery compartment for the light-up palms are located in the forearms of Hot Toys MMS300-D11 Movie Masterpiece Series Die-cast "Avengers: Age of Ultron" 1/6th scale Iron Man Mark XLV 33cm Tall Collectible Figure

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, or simply Rogue One, is an upcoming American epic space opera film and the first stand-alone Star Wars Anthology film, and the ninth theatrical feature film in the series. Set in the Star Wars universe shortly before the events of A New Hope, the story will center on a group of Rebel spies on a mission to steal the plans for the Galactic Empire's new weapon, the Death Star. Rogue One will be released on December 16, 2016.

Star Wars Celebration weekend is officially underway at the ExCeL London Exhibition Centre! The Rogue One costumes are on display at the massive fan event!


Rogue One tells the story of resistance fighters who have united to steal plans to the dreaded Death Star. Felicity Jones leads the cast as Jyn Erso alongside Mads Mikklesen who plays her father, Galen Erso. Diego Luna stars as Captain Cassian Andor with Donnie Yen (Ip Man, Blade II) as the blind spiritual warrior Chirrut Imwe, Jiang Wen as his heavily armored best friend Baze Malbus, Alan Tudyk as the droid K-2SO, Riz Ahmed as the Rebel pilot Bodhi Rook, plus Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera, a character first introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and Ben Mendelsohn as the film’s main antagonist, Director Orson Krennic.

Star Wars is also about the troopers, the Imperial soldiers of the Galactic Empire. There are more people dressing up as Stormtroopers and going to conventions and parades as the Imperial Army than as rebel fighters. Why? Because they are many times cooler and look more badass than the rebels. The costumes on display at Star Wars Celebration 2016 include the uniforms and outfits of the Imperial soldiers. One of them is the Imperial Death Trooper. These elite soldiers are encased in specialized stormtrooper armor with a dark, ominous gleam. They serves as bodyguards and enforcers for Director Krennic.

There will also be Shoretroopers. Specialist stormtroopers stationed at the top secret Imperial military headquarters, Shoretroopers patrol the beaches and bunkers of the planetary facility.


And of course, we also have the Imperial Stormtroopers, the faceless legions of soldiers serving the Galactic Empire. Encased in white armor, stormtroopers are loyal Imperials who undergo rigorous training that strips them of any sense of individuality.


Costume belonging to Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones). Putting behind a checkered past by lending her skills to a greater cause, Jyn is impetuous, defiant, and eager to bring the battle to the Empire. Used to operating alone, she finds higher purpose by taking on a desperate mission for the Rebel Alliance.


Costume of Captain Cassian Andor (Diego Luna): An accomplished Rebel Alliance Intelligence Officer, with combat field experience, Captain Andor commands respect from his Rebel troops with his ability to keep a cool head under fire and complete his missions with minimal resources.


Costume belonging to Riz Ahmed as Bodhi Rook: A former Imperial pilot, Bodhi has strong piloting and technical skills that he will put to use for the Rebellion. Ever practical, but highly anxious, Rook must gather his courage to bring the battle to the Empire.


Below is a picture of the cast in their costumes


Other cast members include: Donnie Yen as Chirrut Imwe. Chirrut Imwe is deeply spiritual warrior, and he believes all living things are connected through the Force. His sightless eyes do not prevent him from being a highly skilled fighter. Though he lacks Force abilities, Imwe has rigorously honed his body through intense physical and mental discipline. Jiang Wen stars as Baze Malbus: A freelance assassin who with the harsh reality of his Imperial-occupied home world, has hardened into a pragmatic soldier and a crack shot with his heavy repeater cannon. Baze has a bravado that provides a marked contrast to the spiritual centeredness of his best friend and moral compass, Chirrut.


Chirrut Imwe's costume shown below


Baze Malbus's costume


Can't wait to see these realized in 1:6 scale by Hot Toys.

In comparison, we don't see that many 1/6th scale Star Trek figures or costumes even though the films are just as entertaining and enjoyable. Food for thought...
